There are 5 types of toxic people in relationships, says therapist: 'They are masters of passive-aggressive behaviors' - CNBC

When you think about toxic relationships, you probably imagine both partners playing a harmful role. But in my 25 years as a therapist focusing on relationship abuse, I've found that in most cases, it's one person attempting to control the other.

A controlling partner won't necessarily behave poorly in the early stages. Instead, they might engage in "love bombing," in which they lavish you with grand gestures and constant contact.

There are five types of controlling partners. If any of these sound familiar, you may want to reconsider your relationship:

‘Humanity is on a rapid path to oblivion’: Billionaire investor Bill Ackman urges Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk to stop amplifying hate for dollars - Fortune

Are social media moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg at fault for dialing up the world’s collective temperature just to earn a quick buck?

Fellow billionaire and Wall Street investor Bill Ackman blames the duo, along with TikTox CEO Shou Chew, for stoking divisions along racial, ethnic, religious and generational divides in ways that serve to dehumanize the suffering and deaths of innocents.

Whether it is Facebook, Instagram, Threads or Twitter/X, engagement-farming algorithms calibrated to feed users continual doses of outrage to keep them scrolling are helping to entrench hatred, he says.

The Second Person to Get a Pig Heart Transplant Just Died - WIRED

Lawrence Faucette, the 58-year-old patient with terminal heart disease who was the second person to receive a genetically engineered pig heart, died on October 30, according to a statement from the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, where the transplant was performed.

Faucette received the transplant on September 20 and lived for six weeks—less time than the first recipient, despite extra precautions by the Maryland team. Initially, Faucette made progress following his surgery. He was doing physical therapy, spending time with family members, and playing cards with his wife, according to the university. But in the days leading up to his death, his heart began to show signs of organ rejection; in other words, his immune system recognized the pig heart as foreign and attacked it. Rejection is also the biggest challenge with traditional transplants involving human organs.

At the University of Maryland Medical Center and elsewhere, researchers have been studying the possibility of transplanting animal organs into people—known as xenotransplantation—as a way to ease the human organ shortage. In the United States, more than 103,000 people are on the national transplant waiting list, and 17 people die each day waiting for an organ. Because donor organs are a scarce resource, doctors want to select patients for transplants who are likely to survive the transplant and go on to do well after surgery.

How the West can help Ukraine win its economic war with Russia - Fortune

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, most of the attention has focused on Russia’s imagined security dangers on its western border, the threat of Ukraine’s democratic success as a model for an oppressed population, or simply the fantasy claim that Ukraine isn’t a sovereign nation. In truth, much like Lenin and Hitler before him, Putin covets Ukraine’s wealth. The war is largely economic.

By invading and laying waste to parts of Ukraine, Putin both harms a competitor in world markets and plunders its resources. Ukraine’s allies need to realize that the key to thwarting Russia is preserving and advancing Ukraine’s economic capacity during the war and after. That means providing Ukraine’s private sector with the security, capital, and market access it needs to thrive.

More immediately, it means ending the Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports and guaranteeing freedom of navigation on the Black Sea.
